About

All tours are 4 people minimum, 6 person maximum All tours are 2 hours in length, No SCUBA, snorkeling only

Hawaii has long been a favorite destination for Scuba Diving, with its tropical climate, year-round diving in warm, clear water and with the abundance of marine life that dwell in the colorful coral reefs, diving here is appealing to everyone. Pelagic dives are different in that all you need is snorkel equipment, and you will be snorkeling at the surface of ocean water of deeper depths, where the Pelagic sea life dwell. On a Pelagic dive, you are likely to encounter sharks, whales during the whale season, dolphin, barracuda, mahi-mahi, tuna or any other type of marine life typically known to be “pelagic”. This is an underwater photographer’s dream and an item on any adventure seeker’s bucket list! Education is an extremely important part of our dive, that’s why you will be accompanied by a Divemaster and a Certified Underwater Naturalist. These highly trained professionals are experts in marine life identification, behavior, and will also explain conservation efforts in effect and legislation passed to help protect endangered species. You will come away with so much more than just bragging rights to say “I dove with the sharks”! You will gain knowledge and some great photos and videos too!

On the boat trip out to the dive site

Starting at the dock when you board the dive boat and during the 3-mile trip out to dive site, you will be briefed on what to expect from your dive beginning with a safety briefing from your Captain. Your Divemaster will give you a demonstration of the equipment and will further explain with visual aides, photos and graphics about the nature and identification of the sea life and answer any questions that you may have. Once at the dive site, the Divemaster will enter the water first, then call the divers in after an evaluation of the site. This is where the real fun begins!
